Dr Robert Sternberg, a professor of psychology at Yale University, a prolific researcher, has published 750 books and articles in the fields of intelligence, creativity, and love. He proffers his love to us and the coming generations through his constant efforts to unravel the facts and make his publications simple and easy to understand.

He performed so poorly in rote-based Introductory Psychology, that his professor urged him to pursue a career out of the field, but his innate desire pervaded him to follow the advise. Ignorance was a bliss in disguise, and the man started a new branch that has come to stay for ever. His major contribution has been Beyond IQ : A Triarchic Theory of Human Intelligence, where he discussed a three part model to describe and assess mental ability.. 

Presently, the director of a new research center at Yale, he is focused on success rather than failure. He is busy changing the way human potential is conceived of, identified and nurtured. His research group is concerned with problems of human mind. His work bridges the areas of cognitive, developmental and social psychology. His book The Decision Tree is based on intellectual functions like reasoning, problem solving, decision making and judgement.
